Is the ACUPCC being imposed on colleges and universities by activist groups from outside of higher education?
No. The original conception of the idea for the ACUPCC came from a group of college and university presidents who identified the need for a national, cooperative effort with their colleagues to effectively address the climate challenge. They asked the supporting organizations – all of which are not-for-profit organizations and part of the higher education community, and none of which are activist groups – to staff and support the administrative requirements of the initiative. The ACUPCC is a presidents’ initiative, and the signatories, led by the Steering Committee, make policy decisions and shape the initiative. Further, much of the promotion and support for the ACUPCC comes from other groups within the higher education sector, such as students, alumni, and higher education associations.
